DIY A Rockhound Collection Jar

There is something beautifully serene about strolling along a beach or riverbed, searching for unique rocks, stones and pebbles to add to your collection.

Each rock piece tells a story, holding onto the memories of where it has been and the journey it has taken through millions of years.

They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and textures. From sparkling crystals to unique fossils, each rock tells a story of our planet's history.

Collecting rocks allows you to marvel at the beauty and diversity of the Earth's natural landscapes.

As you wander along, look for rocks, stones and pebbles that catch your eye. Interesting shapes, colours, and textures that speak to you.

Be sure to respect any rules or guidelines in place for collecting rocks from the natural environments you visit.

One way to showcase the smaller of these treasures is by displaying them in large glass vessels.

A stunning way to bring nature's beauty into your home.

Rocks add a touch of natural wonder to your living space.

How To Create A DIY Rock Jar

You will need:

A heavy-based large Jar with a cork lid (Or screw lid)

A selection of small stones and rocks that will fit through the mouth of the jar.

Water

1 Tablespoon of bleach.

To Make:

*The most important thing to remember when making the rock jar is that the finished product MUST be created in a jar made of thick glass with a heavy base to cope with the weight of the rocks, stones and water that you are filling it with*.

Choose your rocks and small stones.

Wash off any dirt on them.

Start carefully placing them in the base of the jar.

Fill to the top of the jar, leaving a gap of about 2 inches.

Add the water to cover the stones.

And the bleach.

The bleach stops the water from turning green with algae.
